The analogical thinking is one of the traditional ways of thinking in Chinese logic

which had deeply influenced pre-Qin scholars’ thoughts and continued to impact the thoughts and literature in the Han Dynasty. The analogical thinking affected both content and structure of Han Da Fu. On the one hand

by categorizing content

Han Da Fu tends to employ repeated parallelism and is influenced by the subjective analogical thinking. Han Da Fu even converges objects or phenomenon coming from distinct time and space. Besides

the technique of Lianbian (using characters that share the same basic components) can be constantly seen in Han Da Fu

which helps Han Da Fu to create a magnificent and gorgeous effect. On the other hand

the principle of categorization is also applied to the general and partial structure of Han Da Fu

describing objects that belong to a certain broad category intensively and sequentially

and within this broad category

depicting objects that fall into a narrower category in detail

sketching the integrity of diachronic changes or synchronic form

thus endowing Han Da Fu with a strong sense of order.
